New Oklahoma Sooners commit offers even more QB future stability The Oklahoma Sooners secured a significant addition to their 2027 recruiting class by landing a commitment from quarterback prospect Jamison Roberts, a standout player from Saraland High School in Alabama. Roberts, who stands 6-foot-3 and weighs 190 pounds, recently earned a fourth-star rating from Rivals, marking his rise in the recruiting rankings. This commitment solidifies Oklahoma’s position in the quarterback competition, providing long-term stability for the position moving forward. Oklahoma offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Ben Arbuckle has been instrumental in identifying and developing unheralded recruits, and Roberts’ commitment is another example of his success in this area. With Roberts now committed, the Sooners have a clear path to building a strong quarterback room for the future. Arbuckle and assistant coach John Kuceyeski have spent the past 15 months rebuilding the position group, and Roberts’ addition further strengthens their plans. While Roberts will not arrive on campus until next winter, his commitment ensures Oklahoma has a reliable pipeline of talent for the quarterback position. The current quarterback depth chart includes several players who will play key roles in the upcoming season. John Mateer, the team’s starting quarterback last year, is returning for a redshirt senior season in 2026. Despite a thumb injury that limited his performance in 2025, Mateer has maintained a strong relationship with Arbuckle and Kuceyeski. With another year of experience and improvements in the offensive system, Mateer is expected to take another step forward. Whitt Newbauer, a redshirt sophomore, joined the team last spring and served as the third-string quarterback in 2025.#oklahoma_sooners #jamison_roberts #saraland_high_school #ben_arbuckle #john_kuceyeski
Oklahoma Secures 2027 Quarterback Commit from Jamison Roberts The Oklahoma Sooners have officially landed their 2027 quarterback commit, as Saraland (Ala.) High signal caller Jamison Roberts announced his decision to join the program via social media. Roberts, a standout prospect, becomes the 15th member of Oklahoma’s 2027 recruiting class and the lone quarterback in the group. His commitment solidifies the Sooners’ position as a top destination for elite talent, with Roberts choosing Oklahoma over offers from Florida, Georgia, Auburn, Ole Miss, and several other Power Five programs. Roberts, ranked as the No. 289 overall recruit in the 2027 class by 247Sports Composite Player Rankings, is also listed as the No. 22 quarterback nationally and a top-15 player in Alabama. According to 247Sports, he is a high three-star talent with an 89 player grade, the highest rating for a three-star recruit. The network also elevates him to the No. 21 signal caller in the country and a top-14 prospect in Alabama. The scouting report from 247Sports’ network director of scouting, Andrew Ivins, highlights Roberts’ dual-threat abilities. Described as a dynamic player who excels with both his arm and legs, Roberts spent his sophomore season behind Texas signee KJ Lacey before taking over as Saraland’s starter as a junior. During his junior season, he led the Spartans to a 13-1 record and a berth in the Alabama 6A championship game. Roberts’ performance in 2025 was impressive, with a 73-percent completion rate (219 of 300 passes) and 37 touchdowns to just five interceptions. He also rushed for 641 yards and 21 touchdowns on 104 carries, averaging 6.2 yards per carry. Standing at 6-foot-2.5 and 190 pounds, Roberts’ athleticism allows him to thrive in both passing and running situations.#saraland_high #oklahoma_sooners #jamison_roberts #247sports #alabama_6a_championship_game
